    What happens if the computer is on while he starts his bike? When a car starts, the radio goes silent while the engine cranks over. What happens to the powersupoply to the computeR?

    So you think this isn't powered by FreeBSD, or at least that to say so would be balderdash. But do you remember how back in the day at the bottom of websites there were all those Powered by Apache/BSD/(whatever) logos?

    By the logic you're using, those websites weren't powered by Apache, they were powered by the Generel Electric coal power plant a few miles away. So nit-pick this, buddy. Parenthetically, I'd consider laying off the thesaurus... Balderdash... who says that.


    BTW, someone link a Fahrenheit 9/11 .torrent please.

    This guy epitomizes an inconsiderate motorcycle rider. He's cutting people off, running red lights, passing people on the inside during a turn. Riders like this make it that much harder for responsible riders to get along with the cars on the road.

    Flame me if you've ridden for 20 years accident free.
    Anyone who has done anything for 20 years accident free has had a mortifyingly dull existence.

    When I was a Military Police we had a name for guys who rode like this. We called them STATISTICS.

    As in "87% of all motorcycle fatalities are caused by reckless riding" or " So far this year we've scraped 14 motorcyclists off a bumper"
